The Strasburg Fire Department Restructuring Committee has upheld a previous vote by Strasburg Fire Department members to remove former Fire Chief Dale King’s membership with the department. During the committee’s meeting in May, King appealed the fire department’s April decision that removed him “due to conduct unbecoming” of a firefighter. In his appeal on Monday, King argued that he should be placed on administrative leave until his Circuit Court trial on July 23. In April, King pleaded no contest in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court and appealed a decision that would leave him spending at least two months in jail.
